Dreaming of Caiden and Zoe

Aug 19, 2008 06:19PM - 12 comments








I have a little elephant, sitting on my dresser
Waiting for you to claim him
Rounded and foiled he patiently waits
I, however, am not so patient
I clutch the elephant to me, dreaming of you,
of the day he will sit on your dresser

Zanzibar daydreams, baby blues
I feel so lost throughout the days
Is it ever meant to be?
Or will your elephant forever remind me
of what I don't lay claim to?
Will I ever hold you instead?


Three girls, giggly and beautiful
The room is waiting, open
We'll always make room.
Sisters sharing their pinks and lavenders
All the pretties crowded together,
huddled in love.

Wanting to count toes,
put ribbons in soft hair.
But my heart, it is breaking
For fear that these dreams
Will just become stagnant
And life will roll by without you here.

That is so beautiful Joy!  Made me cry.  I think a lot of us feel the same way.  Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, krushing!!! I love free style poetry and it's just like letting your thoughts spill out. Still daydreaming and hoping!!!

Aw how sweet! I too enjoy writing Poetry...such a wonderful way to clear your mind! Oh and I Love how you've chosen Caiden if you have a boy! Thats my little angels name :)

Thanks, Gina!!! I actually decided that Zaiden is really cool because Caiden is growing in popularity. Heck, if I ever have twins (boy and girl) they could be Zaiden and Zoe.

Yea when hubby & I chose Caiden, it was so different! Now I feel like everyone wants to name their baby it! But I didnt chose it because no one had it or vise versa...we chose it cuz we LOVE it!! Zoe is becoming quite the popular name now too, I know lots of mommies to be naming their baby girl Zoe. Oh well, I guess if I tried to name my baby something that no one else had or even thought of, he'd have the most horrible name! LOL

HA HA!!! Yeah, you're right... there will always be someone out there sharing your child's name. When I named my oldest daughter, Elaina (pronounced uh-lay-nuh), NO ONE had that name. But then I heard it EVERYWHERE. I even hear it on TV now all the time. So weird! So long as a name isn't on the top 20 list, I'm going for it! LOL! It's all we can do!!!

That was beautiful writing, I can def. Relate. And that's so funny, the names I chose are Caiden and Makayla :o) I love the name Caiden! And u are in my prayers, as well as every woman struggling for that precious bundle of joy, as I am as well. And conggrats to all who have been blessed already!

Joy first off I LOVE the poem.  Secondly, my SIL is in love with names that start with Z's.  She has two boys and they want a little girl but both are saying they are done.  Their names are Zion and Zander.  I thought Zaiden was pretty different.  DH wants to go out of the box for our son and name him Sorean.  It's defiantly not in the top 20.

by JoyRenee, Nov 07, 2008 12:36PM
LOL, shasy! Well your SIL is more than welcome to use Zaiden if she wants. I'm so stuck on Caiden that I'll probably use it. I don't care how popular it has become! I've been dreaming of a little boy with that name so that's what it'll be.

Sorean is definitely different!

I'll have to tell her about Zaiden though....really...I love the name Caiden also.  There is a child at my center with that name and he's as sweet as he can be but devilish at times...what child is not though?  You are about Caiden like I am Landon.  The thing with Sorean it will probably be Sorean Brooks or Brooks Sorean.  DH is Brooks and we want to carry that on because you rarely hear anyone named Brooks.
